JOSEPH CAMILLE NOURIE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

NOSE-GUARD FOR EYEGLASSES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 739,439, dated September 22, 1903.

Application filed May 4, 1903. Serial No- 155A81. (No model.) i

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LJOSEPH OAMILLENOURIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful N ose-Guard for Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification.

Objects of the present invention are to provide a nose-guard capable of easy and comparatively inexpensive manufacture and susceptible of the necessary adjustments for adapting or fitting it for use and to provide a nose-guard which is firm in use and which does not mark or irritate the skin of the wearer. 1

To these and other ends hereinafter'set forth the invention, stated in general terms, comprises a nose-guard consisting of attaching means and a nose-rest terminating in a spiral spring rising above the plane of the nose-rest, and it further comprises the improvements to be presently described and claimed. 7

The nature, characteristic features, and scope of my invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and in Which- Figure 1- is a front elevational view, and Fig. 2-is a side elevational view, of a noseguard embodying features of the invention. Fig. 3 is a perspective-view of a blank from which the nose-guard shown in Fig. 1 can be constructed, and Fig. 4is an elevational view illustrating portions of eyeglasses fitted with nose-guards embodying features of the invention.

In the drawings the nose-guard comprises a U-shaped piece, of which one arm 1 is provided with terminal attaching means 2 and of which the other arm 3 constitutes a noserest and terminates in a spiral spring at, which rises above the general plane of the arm 3, as shown in Fig. 2, and is adapted'to contact with the nose. As shown, the arm 3, which constitutes the nose rest, is made somewhat circular to rest comfortably upon the nose. The parts may be adjusted by bending the attaching means 2 in respect to the arm 1 and by bending the arms 1 and 3 in respect to each other and by bending the different portions of the arm 3, as may be most convenient or desirable.

In use the portion 3 rests upon the nose, as does also the portion 4:, and since the latter consists of a spiral spring which rises above the general plane of the portion 3 it follows that it yieldingly engages the nose, and, while firm, does'not mark or irritate the skin of the wearer.

'It will be obvious to those skilled. in the art to which my invention appertains that modifications may be made in detail without departing from the spirit thereof. Hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts hereinabove set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawings; but,

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new,

and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A nose-guard for eyeglasses comprising attaching means, and a nose-rest terminating in a spiral spring rising above the plane of the nose-rest to yieldingly engage the nose, substantially as described.

2. A nose-guard comprising a U- shaped piece of which one arm is provided with terminal attaching means and of which the other arm constitutes a nose-rest and terminates in a spiral spring rising above its plane and adapted to yieldingly contact with the nose, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

JOSEPH CAMILLE NOURIE.
